TIPS:

Don’t take shortcuts. Looking up answers or guessing until you get an answer right doesn’t actually teach you the material. Actively engaging with information for comprehension is what makes homework effective.

Approach problem sets as chances to study for exams. Try to focus your attention and learning on the types of problems and ideas being presented. Do not try to memorize individual problems or questions.
